The race for the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensified on Tuesday as Senegal staged a strong comeback in Kinshasa, while Cape Verde extended their lead in their qualifying group.
In Kinshasa, the Teranga Lions showed resilience after falling behind early against the Democratic Republic of Congo. With star players stepping up, Senegal rallied to secure an important point away from home. The result keeps them firmly in contention, though fans believe they must improve their finishing to avoid further setbacks.
Elsewhere, Cape Verde continued their impressive run by claiming another vital win, strengthening their grip at the top of their group. Their solid team performance, marked by disciplined defending and sharp counterattacks, underlined why they have become one of the most consistent sides in African football.
Analysts say Senegal’s ability to recover under pressure shows their experience, while Cape Verde’s rise highlights the growing competitiveness across the continent. Both nations are shaping up as strong contenders to book their tickets to North America for the 2026 World Cup.
For African football fans, these results reflect the high stakes of qualification — where established giants like Senegal must fight hard, and rising powers like Cape Verde continue to prove they belong on the biggest stage.
